NXT LVL STUDENTS

Real friendships. Room to grow.

NXT LVL is a judgment-free place for middle school and high school students to be known and build real relationships. Students are welcome, wanted, and encouraged to come before they believe what we believe or live like we live.

LIFE TOGETHER

More than something students attend.

Our goal is to build real relationships with students through food, games, video games, youth trips, worship, Bible teaching, and honest conversations about real life. We want NXT LVL to be a loving, healthy community that has a blast together, asks hard questions, cares deeply for one another, and supports students through what they are actually facing.

CONNECT EACH WEEK

Three places to begin.

SUNDAY MORNING

9:30 AM Sunday Bible Study

A smaller Sunday morning setting built around relationships, Bible lessons, honest questions, and great discussion. Students do not have to pretend or have everything figured out. They can listen, ask questions, and grow alongside leaders and friends who care about them.

SUNDAY EVENING

A relaxed night with food, games, video games, laughter, and plenty of time to build real friendships. It is intentionally fun and low-pressure, giving students space for authentic interactions and the kind of conversations that happen when people genuinely enjoy being together.

OUR CULTURE

Who we are becoming together.

Our culture is more than what we say. It is how we treat each other. NXT LVL is a judgment-free place where students are welcome and wanted, relationships come first, honest questions are encouraged, and nobody has to pretend.

01

Authentic

We are real people with real struggles, and nobody has to pretend here. Students are welcome before they believe what we believe or live like we live. We do not glorify sin, but we do not hide our struggles from people who love us, support us, and help us move closer to Jesus.

02

Growing

We do not want to stay the same. We are willing to learn, ask questions, take responsibility, and keep becoming stronger people and more faithful followers of Jesus.

03

Serving

We do not just show up and take part. We look for ways to help, serve others, and use what God has given us. There is real joy and growth in making a difference for someone else.

04

Grace & Truth

We refuse to choose one without the other. We love people where they are, tell the truth with compassion, and help each other move closer to God together.

For students and parents

Questions before you come?

Who is NXT LVL for?

NXT LVL is for middle school and high school students. It is a judgment-free place where students are welcome and wanted whether they are exploring faith, unsure what they believe, or have been following Jesus for years. They can belong, build relationships, and ask honest questions while they grow.

What if I don’t know anyone?

Absolutely. Students do not have to believe what we believe or live like we live before they come. They can bring honest questions, real struggles, and their full personality. Dalton, Emily, and the NXT LVL team want to know them, support them, and help them find healthy community.

Can I bring a friend?

Yes. Friends who are in middle school or high school are welcome to come with you.

When does NXT LVL meet?

Sunday Bible Study meets at 9:30 AM in the Annex. Youth Hang Out begins Sundays at 5:00 PM. Tuesday Youth Group meets at 6:30 PM beginning November 10, 2026.

What’s the difference between the gatherings?

Every gathering is built around relationships. Sunday Bible Study offers Bible lessons and honest discussion in a smaller setting. Sunday Youth Hang Out centers on food, games, video games, and time together. Tuesday Youth Group brings students together for dinner, games, worship, Bible teaching, and real conversation. Youth trips and outings give them even more opportunities to have fun and build lasting friendships.

Do middle school and high school students both participate?

Yes. NXT LVL serves both middle school and high school students. Ask Dalton and Emily about the group arrangements for a particular gathering or event.

How can parents stay informed?

Contact Dalton and Emily to ask about current parent communication options and upcoming plans. Our events page also lists church events and registration links.

How do drop-off, pickup, and event permissions work?
